Why Has Wrexham AFC Become a Global Phenomenon?

For decades, Wrexham AFC was known as one of the oldest football clubs in the world - founded in 1864 and playing at the Racecourse Ground, the oldest international football stadium still in use. But in recent years, the club has been propelled onto the international stage, thanks to its celebrity owners. 

In 2020, Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney purchased Wrexham AFC, injecting new life, investment, and global attention into the club. The duo's now-iconic documentary series, "Welcome to Wrexham", has since aired across the world, highlighting the passion of the local community, the magic of grassroots football, and the dream of taking Wrexham back to the top tiers of English football.

The result? Wrexham is no longer just a Welsh club - it has become a global story. Fans are travelling from the US, Canada, Australia, Europe, and beyond to see a match, feel the atmosphere, and be part of the story that has captured hearts worldwide.
